The Father's Job Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Fathers are God's agents of the law, but they are also God's agents of grace. To be the first, and not the second, is to be one testament shy of a Bible, or shy of God's full revelation. A half of a Bible is not the Bible, and half of a father is not a father.

Dick Van Dyke tells the stories of how children act toward their father when they are angry. In his book Faith, Hope and Hilarity he tells of a boy who had been spanked by his father for making too much noise. The boy climbed into his mother's lap and said, "Mama I wish you had married ...read more

No Regrets I

Contributed by Jason Jones on Nov 16, 2022

Two fundamental truths that I want to establish before I preach on revival in our month of prayer and fasting: first that revival is “fresh life based on a renewal to closeness to God,” and second, revival presupposes a church with a tainted or languishing intimacy with God.

Background to passage: Paul is talking about a letter that he wrote to confront the church about a sin in the church. In brief, there are two kinds of sorrow/grief in view; godly sorrow vs. worldly sorrow. “The difference between godly grief and worldly grief is that the first issues in repentance ...read more

Commitment … The Missing Ingredient

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 5, 2022

From time to time, most of us, have begun to eat something that was set before us, and before we took our first bite, not the second or third, we noticed something was missing, and we said, “Someone forgot to add the salt!”

As we begin to read the first chapter of the book of Acts, not the second or third, but the first chapter, and we compare the New Testament church to the modern church, we are aware that something is missing. We cannot help but ask, “Where is the evidence of those things that so characterized the ...read more

The Olivet Discourse - A Serious Look At Matthew 24 And Revelation 6 In Parallel – Part 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 11, 2022

Destruction That Brings Peace Series

The reign of Asa and it’s resulting spiritual revival in Judah demonstrates that peace with God, other believers and unbelievers cannot be achieved until we first destroy that which prohibits the growth and life of peace.
